Moscow accuses Minsk of misleading sugar exports

Sugar exports from Belarus will dominate talks between the Russian Agriculture Minister and the Belarusian Vice-Premier. Moscow thinks Minsk has been supplying cane sugar under the guise of more expensive beet sugar produced in Belarus.

Experts believe Belarusian exporters have taken advantage of the duty-free trade with Russia to sell the cheap product from Latin America. Moscow insists on cutting the imports while Minsk is offering to limit supplies itself.
